Will is one of the most prolific voices in legal tech today - and a voice that often dovetails with General Legal's fundamental worldview: you don't need to raise $500M to build great software for legal professionals.
Relatedly, selling billions of dollars of software to overpaid lawyers doesn't necessarily mean you will change anything about the delivery of legal services or the client's experience. You need to actually be incentivized to do that.
Thrilled and honored to be collaborating, @willchen500! More to come soon ;)
@MikeOSSTeam has been sponsored by @gen_legal_inc, a leading AI-native law firm backed by investors such as YC, Audacious Ventures and SV Angel, to develop a new open source project (Mike[???]) that will shake up the legal industry.
Currently in stealth.
More details to come.
Thanks @jaypmo @rwalk_xyz
If your law firm thinks it can buy/train on weil's client data... wtf is it doing with your data 😂😂
We looked at this and passed. The data belongs to the clients and is not acquirable. The talent who does the work has already left. Instead, we're interviewing Weil attorneys who want to work with the best engineers in legal tech to redefine their practice.

AI should let lawyers handle more matters while clients pay less per matter. Clio reports that lawyers are recording more billable hours. But are clients getting more legal work for their money?
That’s the metric I want to see.

The latest Legal Trends Report is here. In our 11th edition, we reveal how AI is reshaping law firm economics and setting new expectations among consumers.
Billable time is expected to hit 42% of a lawyer’s workday in 2026, up from 39%. That marks the largest year-over-year increase we've recorded to date.

AI data licensing is exploding, and it’s become one of the fastest growing areas for legal services from @gen_legal_inc for helping companies negotiate and structure deals.
So much so that they’ve now formed a dedicated practice for it - for both buyer and seller side.
If you’re exploring buying or selling data, get help from an elite law firm leading the AI data licensing space - and pay a flat fee:

If you’re considering or negotiating data licensing deals, talk to @gen_legal_inc. Their lawyers are doing a bunch of these right now and have visibility into market terms and where you can push back or gain leverage on.

👀👀@gen_legal_inc officially just became the first ai native law firm to be listed in Chambers! chambers.com/law-firm/genera…
Founder: “We gave the advisor 2% because he knows everyone.”
New GC reviewing cap table: “Well, does anyone know how to reach him?”
the new twitter ratio - when you make a bold prediction (like outside spend on trad law firms is about to collapse despite a banner year) and more people bookmark it than like it so they can dunk on you in a year or two if you're wrong. respect it honestly, see you guys in 2028!
Spend on outside counsel is on the verge of collapsing. In its wake clients will still need to know what is market.
Data flywheels will matter more than ever for the next two to four years, while Big Law focuses on margins to pay for their second homes.

Over the course of this year, AT&T General Counsel David McAtee has stopped paying law firms to do many assignments traditionally done by junior lawyers, instead sending the work to a team of AT&T lawyers using AI. Read @sara_randazzo's latest column reut.rs/4rSGwPr
Outside counsel: “We identified 23 issues.”
GC: “Which ones should we actually negotiate?”
Outside counsel: “Happy to schedule a call.”
